I still don't understand the grousing about Club Nintendo rewards. Coins are earned by buying and registering games you already wanted. Were the games that provided hours of entertainment suddenly unworthy because an additional free prize was less than spectacular? And I totally call bullshit on people claiming the time spent on filling out the surveys are not worth the prizes. The surveys take like 45 seconds and no one put a gun to your head. Unless you could have been saving a dying child in that time, I really don't think any of you would have been doing anything that constructive with that time otherwise especially since you've spent even more time whinging about it on the Internet.

Sony and Microsoft don't have a similar program. I'm not saying we should bow and praise Nintendo or throw them a parade; I just find the complaining about an optional program to be unnecessary and ridiculous.

I used my coins on a cradle and a bunch of games. So I have no complaints.

I still think they should boost you to 1500 (or just send you the statue) if you get the 5 2013 Year of Luigi games1 and register them all by a certain date. That'd be Luigi's Mansion 2, New Super Luigi U, Mario and Luigi Dream Team, Super Mario 3D World and Dr Luigi.

1 Yes, I'm aware they extended the Year of Luigi into 2014. I give no f**ks about this.
